The Hell? center views WONT work. (i want to strangle my comp)

[Nahotnoj]

OK, ive been making a map today, and in my triggers, i found an annoying problem: THE FRIGGIN CENTER VIEWS DONT WORK!! its not like they do screwy things or anything, they just DONT WORK. I have been trying to figure out this problem for about 9 hours straight now (not including food breaks) and i cant figurre it out. I have only gotten a center view to work in one single trigger, which was at the end of the trig, which had no preserve trigger. Everywhere else if i try to use it, the center view (and all actions after it) do not work. I am using hyper trigs if that helps in any way, all though i cant see how it would.

Now please excuse me while i vent my anger on the punching bag. Nahotnoj in background: GAHHHAHHAHAHA!!!!! $%$@#!!!! &^$&^%!!!!!!!! YAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!. I hope i dont get flamy tonight, because thats extremely likely right now.

What exactly is the trigger in question?

[Nahotnoj]

weell gurg gurg there are manny of them uh ill try to find the shportest one and try not to get GAHHAHHAN AHTAJN HOIMICIDALL!! AHHAHAHA !QAQ!qz!!!al... Sry, iill go find that trig...

Players: P1
conditions: Player 1 brings at leats one any unit to that location
actions: move alkl any unit owned by player 1 at that location to this location
center view for current player at that location
preserve trig
display a one-time only text msaagege.

[Kejardon]

The text message will be displayed every time, still, due to the preserve trigger.

As for the rest, it looks perfectly correct. You're player one, right?

[peace_machine]

You're player one, right?
You check that Nahotnoj?

[Nahotnoj]

yes , i am player 1, and the text is after the preserve, not b4.

[Sikawtic]

yes , i am player 1, and the text is after the preserve, not b4.it preserves it even if its after...

[Nahotnoj]

it preserves it even if its after...
oh... fark

[Nahotnoj]

GARG!!!!! ^%^$#^%!!! $^$!!! I have tried everything i can think of. Putting the center views on the end, making new trigs w/ center views, other things, THEY JUST NEVER WORK! its as if the center view action is corrupted or something!

any suggestions?

Well... I had one map i was making that was Age of Mythology themed, and i had music from the game in the background, successfully making the map size over 300 megs... anyway, for some reason the music seemed to be a sort of hypertrigger in ways...i think. at any rate, the center views didn't work right...see, the centered at the location and then kept it stuck there for a while...that is the closest thing to what you are doing, and this post is probably useless. btw, i did remove center views. If this makes you feel better/helps, then good.

I dont think playing audio has the same effect as hyper triggers, though other triggers in your map could be interfearing with the center view Nahotnoj. Does the center view work on other maps?

[Nahotnoj]

idk... ill make a new one to chack

EDIT: yep, it works on other maps.

[Whiteknight]

Oh yeah, I remember audio screws many things up. If you have audio, take it out and them put it all in in the end.

[peace_machine]

Audio screws many things up? Many things screw up audio for me but it never been the other way round.

ok.. i found your problem.. i had this same thing happen to me..

when you test.. you dont allways start as P1.. so for now.. use "current player" insted of P1

[Kejardon]

That's just the random start location setting. Easily disabled and henceforth ignored... I doubt it's that.
One mistake that I know is annoyingly common: Are you sure you're working with the right map? (.scm --> .scx often results in opening the wrong map)

[Nahotnoj]

I of course disabled random start loc, and of course im opening the right map, i would know if i wasnt. ill try removing sounds and see what happens.

[Dark_Viper]

well at least it was a try
